[1d20+5 = 15]>>84624Dark star helps search the fire place.
>>84630I expressly broke 2 windows last night, deliberately and with diabolical intent
>>84631oh i thought you were talking about the one we went through.
>>84632Oh, so the party has made its way inside? That's unfortunate
>>84634Okay. Are there any police by themselves, and not in view of one another?
>>84633He could still see the open window,probably.
>>84636Yes, but that's a checkers-level move ^_~
So, uh, in light of me not being dead... Where is Onyx?
>>84639Thank you for your contribution.
I am out at a restaurant with parents, so my responses are hampered
>>84625Would you rather he just be referred to as a “homosexual”? The guards are blue collar working class in a conservative is changing society. They don’t care for the distinctions and subtleties of different queer identies, they just see a pony who to them is unnatural. The guard’s reaction was based in part on the Airforve captain in
Dr. Strangelove who out of nowhere accuses Colonel Mandrake of being a “pre-vert.” He obviously does not want to take time out of doing his job, which he is on the clock for, to start to think about various sexual and gender identities. To him, you are all fucking weirdos
>>84635No formal police. Three guards, altogether, all on the entranve and by a major road, illuminated by lights, and far away from the target house
>>84628Well, it’s dark, but sure. If he is looking for them
>>84627Ponies. Damn, does he smell ponies. It’s almost as if the structure was the long term residence of several ponies, and regularly visited by dozens
>>84641oh and just to clarify i left my badge back at the tavern
in case something goes wrong >>84641Does he smell any ponies in the building?
>>84629>>84624Dark Star finds s lose brick. Behind it, a set of papers concerning the “Golden Pones” society
>>84647>>84629"Is there anything of use in these?" Silver looks at the papers as Star holds them.
>>84645Yes, a minimum of three at this moment, and even more present within the past hour
>>84644Seabreeze would appreciate it
>>84640You can have onyx doing pretty much anything you want
>>84649Caleb takes a move action to discern the source of each scent.
>>84649Anything?
Onyx is now a rich business-stallion who is gamb-
JK, Onyx is with Iron
>>84648>>84650Three documents actually
A members list, a deed to a property, and a receipt for a hired musician
>>84651Can dogs tell the difference between “is here now” and “was here a minute ago” because smells linger and the distinction matters
>>84652Over the last 10 minutes Iron has made an ass of himself by talking about being a mare trapped in a Stallion’s body, making homosexual advances towards a guard, breaking through the window of a guard’s booth, and having a shotgun pulled on him. He’s done now
>>84654>>84653Yeah, Onyx joins him for the humor factor
>>84653Silver takes a look at the deed.
[1d20+14 = 22]>>84653Irl, dogs can sense every detail ranging from the age, health or termperment of various mammals by scent alone, as well as how recently they were around.
But if you want me to roll Survival, I'll do that.
>>84656>>84653"what? why would they hide these here?"
Dark Star looks at the member list
>>84656Purchase of a building on the south side of the city. Looks like a meeting house
>>84655Hmmm, the dialogue could go on
And two high homosexuals is less suspicious than one>>84657sighAt least two ponies by the fireplace
>>84658At least twenty, recognizable names include wealthier ponies
>>84659Wait, did we all come in the same way?
Caleb creeps closer towards the fireplace slowly to check who's there.
>>84659>>84658"I don't know why they would hide this. But it would suggest he has something to hide. Something he really does not want others to find out about." Silver takes a look at the receipt.
>>84659Dark Star photographs it Then he checks the recipt
>>84659Dark Star photographs the deed
>>84660Yeah, that’s destruction of property which they could have him arrested for
>>84661Dark Star and Silver. Oh, and one more very important detail: there is a dog in the house
>>84663>>84663December 12, a jazz musician named Blue Brass. Maybe Dark Star can try a local knowledge check
>>84664Noted
>>84665>There is a dog in the houseI guess I outta take care of that.
Caleb takes a move action to discern the direction of the dog, and sister Ash slowly moves in that direction.
>>84664"If we can not find anything else here, we will have to head to this place, try to see what we can and can not find."
[1d2 = 2]>>84666He’s a Zebra from Baltimare, and that is all Dark Star knows
>>84641So no guards are by themselves?
>>84668In front and to the right, towards the entrance foyer
>>84671No, not now at least. Also they are a thousand feet away from the action
[1d20+7 = 20]>>84670Snap
"thats going in my evidence compilation"
>>84669"alright"
>>84670Dark star searches the book case
>>84672Silver heads for the nearest doorway to search another room.
>>84672Sister Ash approaches the dog, and reaches out towards it empathetically.
>"Hello?" >>84672"So,... what brings you fellows out here?" Brie asks as nonchalantly as he can manage
[1d2 = 2]>>84673The book case contains many books
>>84675She finds the dog. It is a terrier, medium size, white in color with a giant brown spot on top
>”What the actual fuck are you doing in my house dragon? I will rip your throat out!”>>84676Wait, who is he talking to?
>>84677Any books that stick out from the others?
>>84673Dark Star finds something hidden behind the books: a film roll. Titled “My Film Project”
>>84678Be advised, Iron and Onyx are on scene. One of the guard’s seems traumatized and has a shotgun he is putting down. Two more are standing by the automobile. One of the later responds: “hello sir. We work here. We’ve been dealing with a pair of pre-verts who seem to have taken something stronger than simple alcohol
>>84655>>84680A Bat pony approaches and speaks to the guard’s. He seems trustworthy
>>84682"Ah I see. Are they the ones who vandalized the house there?" he says, pointing to the broken windows.
>>84682He holds up the film to a light
Okay, so two OOC questions:
>>84683What the hell are you doing?>>84686And what the HELL are you doing?>>84683Iron waves at the bat pony, not really minding his presence.
>>84683“No... we... haven’t heard of a house being vandalized tonight”
This puts them on edge
>>84686Individual frames suggest an attempt at a homemade film
>>84677I forgot my spells for today, so let me make smalltalk while I find where I put them.
Sister Ash leans down and in towards the dog, as to address him directly.
>"I'm looking for somepony. Are you all alone here?" >>84687>tfw zommers dont know you can see the pictures by holding it up to a light.>>84689Dark Star hads it over to silver to put it in his bag
>>84689"Well, I'd have to take a closer look to be sure, if you fellows don't mind of course, but from here it looks like there's a broken window on the top floor"
>>84692He barely manages to catch Silver before he goes off into another room. He gently takes the roll and places it into his bag. "Just how much does he have hidden around here?"
>>84691>”Yes. Wait. No. No! I have a tiger and a manticore and the National Guard behind me!”>>84693“Well... us two can take the automobile to go check it out if you believe there is a danger”
>>84701Sister Ash chuckles quietly
>"Would you mind if I pet you?"She asks, reaching out a hoof
>>84701"I really don't know. I was just passing by and saw you fellas, wasn't sure if you noticed anything, but I can see you're pretty busy with what you have here. One thing at a time, of course." ^_^ He smiles
[1d2 = 2][1d2 = 1]>>84703The guards look at each other
[1d20+7 = 23]>>84700"hopefully enough to bust him"
>>84701Search check:to find any hidden compartments in the floor or walls
[1d20-1 = -17]>>84705Search: Silver tries his best to help Star.
>>84704"Might be my eyes playing tricks on me anyway. Sorry to bother you, you ponies have a good evening." he smiles and continues his 'innocent and totally not artificial' walk around the neighborhoof.
>>84702>”ruff ruff! I am ferocious! You shall not harm me!”>>84705No secret compartments detected in the room
>>84703The guard in the booth says to the others “No you are not leaving me alone with these two freaks of nature” the hoof that is not touching his shotgun points at Onyx and Iron. “If there are vandals, they can’t get out except through the gate anyways”
>>84706Did you send silver to try to explore other rooms earlier?
>>84708Wait, Onyx and Iron are the freaks?
[1d2 = 1]>>84710Yes. That’s them. Iron waved at Brie
>>84708dark Star goes to the next room with silver
>>84713>>84711Entrances to two areas. One looks like an entrance foyer with a staircase, and another to what looks like a dining room
>>84715Silver heads into the dining room first.
[1d20+7 = 9]>>84708Brie stops. "Are you worried about being left alone? I'm not really involved, but I must admit the situation has me curious. Would you be okay if I stayed around here, to get help if something goes awry?"
rolling bluff >>84715Dark Star also goes into the dining room
>>84722Well... this is going to get interesting...
>>84722That's like when Atlas gave me two natural 1s in a row.
>>84726What makes you think it was Atlas?
